BTS Wow Fans With Their Performance of ‘Dynamite’ on ‘America’s Got Talent’
So, it looks like BTS just won America’s Got Talent with their newest performance of “Dynamite.” That’s how the show works right? Just kidding. Kind of.
On Sept. 16, BTS performed their new hit single “Dynamite” on America’s Got Talent. Jin, Suga, J-Hope, RM, Jimin, V, and Jungkook each earned high praise from ARMY, and the performance was so impressive the hashtag “#BTSonAGT” trended on Twitter with hundreds of thousands of tweets.
BTS put on an expansive performance of ‘Dynamite’
BTS always manage to outdo themselves. The group first performed “Dynamite” at the MTV Video Music Awards on Aug. 30. For that performance, the Korean band performed in front of a green screen that displayed New York City and Seoul.
The Korean band took it up a notch for their performance on America’s Got Talent. Wearing their retro looks from the “Dynamite” music video, BTS filmed a “one-take” style performance in an amusement park that appeared to be Everland, a well-known theme park in South Korea.
The performance was filled with Easter eggs for ARMY, including a license plate with BTS’ debut date and signs with BTS’ and ARMY’s logos. With the nighttime setting and warm lighting, it appeared like a summer night with the foreshadowing of fall, marking the transition of “Dynamite” being a fun summer anthem to a song perfect for autumn, showing the disco-pop track’s versatility.
